Intro: D* cadd9 C* D X2
D*
Said I want to live the city life
cadd9
This small town could eat me alive
C* D
I gotta pack my things and go where the railroad takes me
D*
Mama's too poor to send me away
cadd9
But I've been saving up on most everyday
C* D
Little bit out of each check from the Gas & Deli
D* cadd9 C*
And the whistle keeps on blowing
D
And the train keeps on rolling
CHORUS:
And he said
D* cadd9
I ain't never been to New York City
C* D
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay
D* cadd9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
C*
But you bet your bottom dollar
D D*
That's where I'm going the day after today
D*
So he locked the door and he killed the lights
cadd9
Took a six pack to get him through the night
C* D
Didn't have a plan just a good sense of direction
D*
And Maybelline, his beauty queen
cadd9
She cried all night cause the sheet were clean
C* D
But he left her a lovers' note there apologizing
D* cadd9 C*
He said I hear the whistle blowing
D
Gotta catch it the train is rolling
CHORUS
D*
The air is thick on the concrete isle
cadd9
Ain't nothing green for like twenty miles
C* D
And he ain't use to the sun and moon a hiding
D*
So he took his foot from out his mouth
cadd9
And he packed his things and went back down south
C* D
But Maybelline said "Babe my time's arising."
D* cadd9 C*
Said I hear the whistle blowing
D
Gotta catch it the train is rolling
And she said
D* cadd9
I ain't never been to New York City
C* D
I ain't seen the San Francisco Bay
D* cadd9
I ain't never tried my hand in Vegas
C* D
I never seen the L.A lights shine bright
G
Bright, brighter than your smile was ever
cadd9
Brighter than my desire was ever
C* D
Longer burning than our love was ever...ohhhhh
CHORUS
